We're probably doomed. We're all bastards. No one is innocent.
You'll never get a liberal to admit they believe they exclusively possess the right to vote on behalf of their own selfish interests. That their charismatic, elite cult leaders are all knowing in forcing us to support them in pursuing those same selfish interests.
i consider myself a progressive conservative. i'm all for investing in people and their communities, lifting anyone from poverty who is willing to work toward that end. i'd have voted for Johnson's Great Society. i'm supportive of progressive programs that spend tax payer money wisely to ensure that no one falls through the cracks.
i voted for Bill Clinton twice. (ok, i didn't necessarily dislike Bush. But i also don't believe career intelligence officers should be allowed to run for president. Bush was in the CIA since at least 1952, and probably as far back as 1947). i'm steadfast in my belief of helping the people who deserve help, to become everything that they can be. i believe all children should have free heath insurance up to at least age 21. probably age 25.
i'm a realist. Not everyone uses the system to better themselves and society. How do you stop people from abusing the system. Like everyone, i have next to no answers. If a Democrat is holding office, i receive .gov statistics lauded on CNN with skepticism. If a Republican is in office, i better do the same if i'm tuned to Fox News or listening to Howie Carr. i listen to about 2/3 liberal news outlets, and their professional obfuscators.
i have snowflake whisperers in my family. It's horrible to see a sibling raise kids, and offer no discipline or teach them personal responsiblity – knowing what the outcome will be. Then 10 years later seeing the child abuse play out as feared.
The problem with liberalism, is that it's gone completely off the rails, not only to rewarding bad behavior, but to slam those that attempt to discuse the damage the bad behavior is doing to our society. Again, i'm a hypocrite here. i don't have answers.
If i were a flailing, sensitive snowflake fully invested in the 'victim class,' or too cowardly to make the effort of self discipline to better myself – why wouldn't i see the huge appeal in voting for the politicians who promise me the most free shit, create victims over the slightest pretense, and make it into an massive 'industry' ?? Why wouldn't i vote for the politician most willing to rip off the taxpayer, fill the offices with likeminded friends, bankrupt the country – and call it social justice??
i'd be very tempted. Y'ever try to get through the day without a good rationalization? Hell, yeah, i'd want to vote for the faith healers and social 'forgivers' to the galactically lazy. They might even send me to a 'get more free shit' seminar.... If i'm really clever, i'd just fill in that i'm Native American on my application and get even more free, endless everything; straight to getting my Ph.D. Dammit, i might eventually even become a member of the Harvard faculty.... hailed a great warrior for social justice.... and one day, even become a US Senator.
Liberals, are the balls. Conflate the number of victims up to a number close to infinity. Then, OPEN the floodgates so all the illegal Democrats can pour in!
Get everybody signed up on the FREE shit train. Make everything free until you're 30. Label all conservatives, of all colors, and creeds as White Racist Scum and Uncle Toms (as Mr. Hill so eloquently did on CNN 2 nights ago).... Suck in all the great PR. Stack the press and entertainment industry with like minded social justice warriors just like you and cash in for the next 75 years.
Or you go the tough road. Make outlandish declarations that we could be in a race to the bottom, talk about things like an honest debate, and honest US Labor statistics, talk about those who've left the labor force because they can't find gainful employment.... and get labeled a bigot.
Fine. Then, i say i have just as much of a right to vote for legal, documented immigration (as written in US law), non-wide open borders and greater measures to prevent terrorism. i might vote for the guy who ain't afraid to call the 'system of welfare to Mexico via anchor babies,' or that half the mothers nearly died, or had to be rescued out in the desert in a dusty truck, and now the American society of taxpayers and hospital stock holders has to foot the $78,000 medical bill – instead of having that money spent on my next tax break, a better stock portfolio, lower taxes for MP so they can build a less VE's skyscraper, and charter schools for challenged neighborhoods in my home city....
i can vote for more money to go to help improve the lives of the people who's parents contributed to this country, or died from Agent Orange just like they do everywhere else. i can vote for less taxes, and less $$$ for the arts if it leaves me with more cash for a greener lawn and send my kid to MIT instead of Northeastern.
